    This website from PBS looks at how people working in traditional media are adapting to social media and how it is changing the mindset of journalists.

    Thanks for posting, Emily. The Daily Must Reads on this are pretty interesting. I just signed up for the email newsletter so I don't miss them.

    This is a blog I stumbled upon and I found the posts to be fairly helpful when thinking about entering the job market. It provided some helpful tips on branding and uses of social media to create your own brand. The resource page also had some helpful links for portfolio building.

      There is helpful information on each of these sites. This can help people who haven't decided where to make their portfolios. Also, this could give you pointers on something you are already working on.
  • You then have the option to modify anything from the story’s text to the featured picture to the date and publication name. You can also add tags and generate a PDF from the URL, which is really nice if you do ever have to print out copies of your articles.

    I thought this site would be helpful with our portfolios. It gives advice on the five portfolio sites that it has chosen. It not only points out the good sites, but points out helpful features from each.

    This is a really great article about how to post articles on Pinterest. Author Comment: I won't be pinning this how-to article on my Pinterest page. I'd like to, of course, because I have a board for my articles, and this article is about how journalists can use Pinterest boards to showcase their work. Ah, irony.

      Could this be because it took a long time for journalists to figure out exactly how to make news pertinent on a non-news-focused site?

      This is amazing to me. BuzzFeed, a predominantly list-form entertainment new site, seems more suited for the short, 140-character blurbs of Twitter.

      AKA people spend A LOT more time on Pinterest, which means your article's half-life increases tenfold.

      This is a great idea on Pinterest's side. Releasing a guide on how to use Pinterest for their needs essentially takes out the "brainstorming" process, which means more time for them to be posting and sharing!
  • Pinterest introduced new article pins Tuesday
  • seeing a growing number or journalists and media sites use Pinterest
  • The site’s ability to drive Web traffic may be a draw for news organizations and journalists.
  • Pinterest sends more traffic to his site than Twitter does.
  • When people visit Pinterest, they browse, they search, they surf, and they uncover more pins.
  • Pinterest has put together a guide for media people on how to use the service

    "Quartz is a digitally native news outlet for the new global economy." I just found this website today. Perhaps others are familiar with it, but it was completely new to me. It has a global focus and the first story I found focused on how newspapers are covering the protests in Bangkok with drones. I didn't know any country had accepted drone journalism. I also didn't know that people are protesting in Bangkok. The layout of the website is very unique. You can just scroll down to move from story to story. It also has a sidebar listing different content. The layout is refreshing and the site has a lot of unique content I hadn't seen before. This is worth checking out.

      An important not that all journalists and ad/pr people should remember. Mistakes are inevitable.

      As a social media enthusiast, this point is SO SO SO important! If your mistake was on Facebook, you need to address it there first. That's where most of your audience who SAW this mistake is.

      These are some awesome tips to help make sure that you have some basic crisis management knowledge, even if your company has a PR person.

  • At some point, they or their company will screw up.
  • corporate executives must have a well thought out communications plan
  • Apologizing immediately shows that you acknowledge that something wrong has occurred. It does not equate to admitting any wrongdoing.
  • It’s important to be the first out of the gate to acknowledge the situation and its impact on the victims.
  • Respond where it happened.
  • If a company’s audience is active on Twitter, it should first communicate there and extend that communication to other platforms.
  • Committing to an investigation shows that the company is taking the issues seriously and equally important, it gives the company time to find out the relevant details of the problem while providing the public time to grieve knowing that there is some assurance that action will be taken.
  • Mistakes happen.
